A small lizard-like creature is kept as a pet by Chirpa, Chief of the Ewok village which allied itself with the rebel commando team at the Battle of Endor. Chirpa's ownership and evident affection for the creature suggests that these animals are domesticated and well-regarded by Ewoks of high social status. Chirpa's familiar s free to clamber on the Ewok's head and body during important village council sessions, though the Chief might hold the end of its tail in order to prevent the precious pet from wandering too far. The lizard is about thirty centimetres long, with fine grey scales. The long, thin tail is banded alternately in dark brown and light grey.
Chief Chirpa grasps his lizard's tail as it perches contentedly during a gathering of village elders.
